4. They are part of the CORPORATE-OWNED MEDIA...
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 04:47 PM by Totally Committed
It is not in their best interest (read: their bottom line) to have an electorate that is well-informed. An informed electorate would probably send all the corporatist electeds home within three election cycles... they can't have that! If they had their way, they'd drop ALL their news programming in favor of mindless entertainment. But, since they can't, they just give us "infotainment" and call it "news". We know the difference, so we are the lucky ones. A lot of the rest of America doesn't.
